Decree of the Court of Milan, Autonomous Section on Prevention Measures, No. 13 of 7 March 2017

The Court of Milan imposed a special prevention surveillance measure with this decree, which implies upon the person involved an obligation to stay in the municipality of residence for three years. This preventive measure grounded its basis on the concept of social dangerousness (for the previous commission of many offenses, such illegitimate use of weapons, violence and threats, crimes of patrimonial accumulation, femicide). For the Court, however, the ruling by the ECHR Court, Grand Chamber, 23 February 2017, on the case de Tommaso, which condemned Italy for the vagueness of the prescriptions imposed on a person deemed to be socially dangerous, is not expression of the ECHR Court consolidated jurisprudence on this particular argument. For this reason, the Italian judge has not a duty to comply with it in any case of this kind.
